Phys.org / Particle thought to break physics followed rules all along, research reveals
A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an international team led by a Penn ...
Medical Xpress / CDC report on COVID vaccine blocked from publication
A federal report pointing out the benefits of COVID-19 vaccines may never be released, according to multiple people familiar with the decision.
Science X / From public kissing to talking during movies, a simple formula predicts moral norms across cultures
People living in different countries and societies worldwide can have very different views on what behaviors are acceptable. In the field of sociology, these population-level judgments are broadly referred to as moral and ...
Phys.org / People with dark personality traits are naturally inclined towards leadership roles, finds new study
Can you tell if you're working with a narcissist or a psychopath? A new study suggests that people's job choices may offer some clues, especially in fields built on leadership and persuasion such as business, politics, and ...
Phys.org / Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites
A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on ...
Medical Xpress / The importance of health literacy for international students in Japan
International students face a range of health challenges in their daily lives due to language barriers, different cultural values, and unfamiliar health care systems. Even something as basic as a dentist's appointment can ...
Phys.org / Water simulation of famous quantum effect reveals unexpected wave patterns
In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic field, despite not passing ...
Phys.org / The moon might be more prone to fires
Engineers love a good practical challenge, especially when it comes to spaceflight. But there's one particular challenge facing the crewed missions of the near future that scares mission planners above almost all others—fire. ...
Science X / Kakapel rock art traces millennia of painters in Kenya
A recent study published in Azania: Archaeological Research in Africa presents the first millimeter-accurate recording of the paintings at Kakapel rock shelter in Kenya, linking the layers of rock art painted over thousands ...
Phys.org / A vast Indigenous American genome map exposes lost migrations, ancient ancestry and more than a million new variants
Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many populations have historically been underrepresented on the human genomic map. This is the case of Native ...
Phys.org / Ancient amber reveals a true bug equipped with claws, a highly unusual feature
Amber from the Kachin region of Myanmar has preserved a wealth of fossils, offering insights into the diversity of the Cretaceous fauna of a 100-million-year-old forest ecosystem. The site continues to yield previously unknown ...
Phys.org / This volcano that 'slept' for 100,000 years was never truly quiet
For more than 100,000 years, the Methana volcano in Greece appeared dormant. No lava, no explosions, no ash clouds. It appeared extinct, like many other volcanoes today. An international research team led by ETH Zurich has ...
